PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE BY MICHIO KAKU

By Richard Day on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 7:54pm |

Well, certain ignoramuses who are taking over our educational system would ban Shakespeare, amend the actual history of the United States of America and completely abolish the basic sciences that took us to the moon and enabled us to send pictures of our naked girl friends to computer users all over the world.

We have had fine discussions here at Dagblog lately concerning tenure and the banning of books and the new Texas textbooks emerging on the primary educational market today.

THE SUPREME COURT, THE ORACLE OF DELPHI AND THE OLD LADY WITH THE BONES.

By Richard Day on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 1:29pm |

Priestess of Delphi (1891) by John Collier

Dating back to 1400 BC, the Oracle of Delphi was the most important shrine in all Greece, and in theory all Greeks respected its independence. Built around a sacred spring, Delphi was considered to be the omphalos - the center (literally navel) of the world.
